I remember reading an anecdote of somebody seeing a copy of Sartre's Being and Nothingness on Heidegger's desk and asking him what he thought of it. The one-word reply 'dreck' which I think means 'shit'.

Though I've often wanted to quote it (against H as much as against JPS), I've never found its source again. If any of you phenomenologists out there can help me... -- James Heartfield The 'Death of the Subject' Explained is available at GBP11.00, plus GBP1.00 p&p from Publications, audacity.org, 8 College Close, Hackney, London, E9 6ER.
